This digitised archive has been created to record the political ephemera produced by the Asian Youth Movements. The majority of the material did not belong to any archive but existed in precarious conditions in community centres and homes. In digitising this material we aim to preserve it for future generations to learn about the experiences and actions of young South Asians growing up in the towns and cities of Britain in the 1970s and 1980s. Since the production of this digital archive, some of the extant materials have been donated to the Ahmed Iqbal Ullah Race Relations Archive, Manchester.

Tandana - Aims

  1. Tandana aims to archive the visual and ephemeral culture of South Asian struggle in Britain for social, cultural and political rights.
  2. Tandana aims to give value to this heritage through:
    a. the creation of a centralised and accessible archive.
    b. the collection of supportive and contextual documentation.
  3. Tandana will digitise the ephemera and make this heritage accessible through the web to allow access by as wide a number of people as possible.
